I started to plant yesterday. The pictures that you see are of the Cool Wave Yellow PANSY. The plug tray has 280 plants in it, and I planted to a 6" pot. The plant is little but I promise you they will grow into a very lovely container of plants. It isn't the smaller plug I will plant. Today I will take a picture of the 3 different sizes of plugs I have gotten in and you can compare the size of the plant. I have started so here we go. This plug tray is one of many that we will transplant. Interesting process and I do enjoy planting and watching them grow.

Now here is some information about the plants you have in your house.

Water Houseplants CarefullyThe number one killer of houseplants is over watering. Read your plants' signs to water properly. The leaves of thirsty plants will lose some of their shine. Lift the pot, and if it is exceptionally light, it is dry. Stick your finger into the soil instead of just touching the surface. It may still be damp half an inch down. Make sure your pots all have drainage holes. You can Shower Off Houseplants Small-leaved houseplants can be set in the tub and showered to remove dust and spider mites. Wipe the leaves of larger plants with a soft cloth or soft cotton gloves. Although plant leaves have their own natural shine, for extra luster you can use milk diluted with water after the leaves are clean. Avoid commercial plant shine products, as they may clog the leaves' pores. You can be thinking about starting Mother's Day Plants Take cuttings of Swedish ivy, pothos, philodendron, coleus, geranium, rosemary, or whatever else you may have on your windowsill. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and put three to five cuttings together in a small pot. By the time Mother's Day rolls around, you will have stocky, attractive plants to give as gifts.
